“Open fire!” Toy Dispenser shouted and then he was among them.

A red and blue blur dashed at Mini Bot and a smaller blur slashed out at the battle drone. The drone tilted away from the slash and just barely managed to avoid it, even retaining enough presence of mind to counter with its two buzz saw tentacles. The blur easily ducked away, but this was reason enough for Mini Bot to jeer at it.

“Nah nah!” the drone shouted at the temporarily retreating figure. “Can’t get me can you Mr. Mc Stupid Speedypants!”

In response the hero sneered at the little drone, sunlight glinting off of the goggles that covered much of his masked face. The man’s slim katana spun around almost lazily as he blocked a particle beam fired by Small Toy; if he hadn’t blocked it, there would have been a smoking hole where his blue spandexed heart would have been.

All of a sudden a shudder wracked Mini Bot’s frame and the other robots paused in their firing or aiming to look at it. The drone looked down quizzically at its chest and stared at the thin line that spread upward from its hip joint to the base of its neck. With a loud sizzling sound and a bang, white light shot out of the line and Mini Bot convulsed, its multiple red eyes going dark as their systems suffered critical damage. The bright red drone collapsed heavily, causing a huge burst of dust to shoot up into the air and slowly fall down, glittering prettily in the beams of light coming down through the holes in the ceiling above.

Ever so slowly, Toy Dispenser nervously shifted his grip on his pulse rifle to a single handed one and aimed the free hand at the hero. As red lightning began crackling up and down its length, the remaining six robots shifted their stances as well. All was silent for a few day-long seconds and then a bolt of lightning crackled out from Toy’s arm and slammed into the wall where the hero had been a moment before.

Suddenly in front of Combat Toy, the hero’s blade was met by a thick knife that ejected out of Combat Toy’s right wrist and rose up to parry the blow. But the strength of the blow caused the mammoth assault bot to stumble backwards a step as a sharp clang echoed through the room. A swing of its left arm caused the hero to duck and slash at Combat Toy’s leg, making the bot list to one side as its foot was cut cleanly away. Combat Toy fired its plasma cannons this time, but the hero had already ducked away and into a crossfire between Large Toy and Toy Bot.

The neon green battle drone pumped out bursts of plasma as fast as its twin guns could charge while the bright blue protector bot launched a rapid fired laser burst-photon grenade combo. The hero whirled around, deflecting the photon grenade and several of the plasma bursts away to harmlessly detonate on the walls while simultaneously avoiding the other shots. Bringing his sword around, the hero darted forward and slashed at Large Toy. An arm raised in self-defense clattered to the floor as it was cut off and the rest of the robot went into convulsions as the hero’s mysterious power did the same thing to Large Toy as he had done to Mini Bot.

Kicking out, the hero knocked Large Toy into Small Toy, sending the smaller battle drone wheeling and throwing off its shot. A quick shuffle step then sufficed to dodge a low laser blast fired at him from Toy Dispenser. At a muffled curse from the mastermind, the hero just grinned maliciously and then backflipped to land on top of Combat Toy’s shoulders as the assault bot attempted to bum rush him from behind.

“Get the hell off!” Combat Toy shouted as it threw itself to the ground in order to dislodge the hero and give the other robots a clear shot.

The hero neatly flipped through the air again and slashed at Toy Dispenser as he landed next to the mastermind. Toy narrowly blocked the blow with a suddenly shimmering white hand, the equipped force field generator serving as a handy point defense shield. With his right hand, Toy brought around his rifle and fired point blank at the hero, who sidestepped and slashed out again with his sword but this time with a second cut as he brought his sword back around. The first slash was dodged as Toy threw himself backwards but when the hero advanced forward and followed up, the pulse rifle was sacrificed to enable Toy Dispenser to escape unharmed.

The hero was then taken unawares as Block Bot tackled him to the ground, the protector bot also accompanied by a pair of seeker drones that buzzed ominously, their thin, whip-like stabilizer attachments traded out for high powered buzz saws. These flew around the struggling pair, waiting for the hero to take one wrong move as he battled with Block Bot for control of his sword.

“I may die but I’m sure as hell making it hard for you!” Block Bot shouted in the hero’s face with none of its normal lethargy as the robot tried to smash it in with one hand while trying to keep the sword away with the other.

What was visible of the hero’s face contorted in a deep scowl as he wrestled with Block Bot and saw Combat Toy getting to its feet over the black protector bot’s shoulder. With a snort the hero twisted the hilt of his sword, causing it to emit an extremely short ranged sonic pulse that tore into the vital systems underneath Block Bot’s armor while leaving only a small entrance scar. Its eyes flickering erratically as systems overloaded and shut down, Block Bot’s grip went limp and the hero was able to bring up both legs and kick Block Bot off of him, also hitting both seeker drones with the body and sending them tumbling to the floor.

Somersaulting to his feet, the hero avoided a flurry of missiles that slammed right where he had been. But he couldn’t avoid the trailing edge of the explosions and was launched through the air right at Combat Toy, who grabbed the hero in a bear hug and started crushing the life out of him. But the hero’s left arm was free and he took the opportunity to stab his fingers into the temporarily unprotected elbow joint of Combat Toy’s right arm. By channeling a brief surge of raw kinetic energy through his fingertips he severed some of the artificial muscles that kept that arm working and also gave himself some nasty burns, which was why he didn’t use that trick very often.

Suddenly able to wiggle free, the hero slipped out of Combat Toy’s grasp and danced away from the assault bot before slashing out for a near miss at Combat Toy’s head. But the sonic ability of his sword came into affect again as Combat Toy’s thin eye strip shattered and spat sparks as the massive assault bot toppled backward like a felled tree.

A purple particle beam grazed the hero’s shoulder and was immediately joined by two plasma bolts that slammed into his back and knocked him sprawling to the ground. A raw bolt of force then thundered into his side, sending him sliding across the ground to painfully collide with the wall. The amount of dust knocked up by all this set him to choking helplessly for a minute, even though he could see the remaining three enemies perfectly through his goggles.

“Finish him,” Toy Dispenser said to Small Toy as he crouched down low, spread his arms, and started focusing his energies, causing arcs of lightning to occasionally flash from his arms to the floor.

“Target sighted,” the pale grey battle drone said as it took aim down the entire length of its right arm, which was little more than a high powered sniper rifle.

There was a loud crack of superheated air as the rifle fired and two softer thuds as two battle drone heads hit the ground. Panting hard from straining his powers to the utmost, the hero nevertheless managed to give Toy Dispenser a wide grin as he pointed his sword at the mastermind.

Abandoning his offensive posture, Toy Dispenser stood up and looked squarely at the hero as he raised his hands.

“Guess you’ve got me,” he said as the hero started advancing on him with katana raised high.

There was a loud roar and the air was suddenly filled with dust and sunlight as six robots burst through the roof and landed in a rough circle around the hero. Combat Toy adjusted it’s footing on Toy Bot’s corpse as it loomed up behind the hero while Toy Bot stood atop the remains of the first Block Bot.

“Psyche,” Toy said as the hero’s grin fell and Combat Toy brought both fists down.

OOC: Oh hay, it's another Future Toy piece. >_> I guess that basically means where he has his customized bots, but anyway, hope you lot enjoyed yet another single scene fiction thing.

That was sick! I liked it a lot!

I love imagining this kind of thing in my head as I read and your writing made that very easy for me.

It was kinda weird how human the bots' voices seemed, though.

Excellent job!
